than during define_custom_variable(). This entails rejecting an ALTER
command if the target variable doesn't have a known (non-placeholder)
definition, unless the calling user is superuser. When the variable *is*
known, we can correctly apply the rule that only superusers can issue ALTER
for SUSET parameters. This allows define_custom_variable to apply ALTER's
values for SUSET parameters at module load time, secure in the knowledge
that only a superuser could have set the ALTER value. This change fixes a
longstanding gotcha in the usage of SUSET-level custom parameters; which
is a good thing to fix now that plpgsql defines such a parameter.
database to connect to. This is necessary for the walsender code to work
properly (it was previously using an untenable assumption that template1 would
always be available to connect to). This also gets rid of a small security
shortcoming that was introduced in the original patch to eliminate the flat
authentication files: before, you could find out whether or not the requested
database existed even if you couldn't pass the authentication checks.
The changes needed to support this are mainly just to treat pg_authid and
pg_auth_members as nailed relations, so that we can read them without having
to be able to locate real pg_class entries for them. This mechanism was
already debugged for pg_database, but we hadn't recognized the value of
applying it to those catalogs too.
Since the current code doesn't have support for accessing toast tables before
we've brought up all of the relcache, remove pg_authid's toast table to ensure
that no one can store an out-of-line toasted value of rolpassword. The case
seems quite unlikely to occur in practice, and was effectively unsupported
anyway in the old "flatfiles" implementation.
Update genbki.pl to actually implement the same rules as bootstrap.c does for
not-nullability of catalog columns. The previous coding was a bit cheesy but
worked all right for the previous set of bootstrap catalogs. It does not work
for pg_authid, where rolvaliduntil needs to be nullable.
Initdb forced due to minor catalog changes (mainly the toast table removal).
Also, make the name of the GUC and the name of the backing variable match.
Alnong the way, clean up a couple of slight typographical errors in the

those process types that go through InitPostgres; in particular, bootstrap
and standalone-backend cases. This ensures that we have set up a PGPROC
and done some other basic initialization steps (corresponding to the
if (IsUnderPostmaster) block in AuxiliaryProcessMain) before we attempt to
run WAL recovery in a standalone backend. As was discovered last September,
this is necessary for some corner-case code paths during WAL recovery,
particularly end-of-WAL cleanup.
Moving the bootstrap case here too is not necessary for correctness, but it
seems like a good idea since it reduces the number of distinct code paths.
The logic for determining whether to materialize has been significantly
overhauled for 9.0. In case there should be any doubt about whether
materialization is a win in any particular case, this should provide a
convenient way of seeing what happens without it; but even with enable_material
turned off, we still materialize in cases where it is required for
correctness.
Thanks to Tom Lane for the review.
relcache reload works. In the patched code, a relcache entry in process of
being rebuilt doesn't get unhooked from the relcache hash table; which means
that if a cache flush occurs due to sinval queue overrun while we're
rebuilding it, the entry could get blown away by RelationCacheInvalidate,
resulting in crash or misbehavior. Fix by ensuring that an entry being
rebuilt has positive refcount, so it won't be seen as a target for removal
if a cache flush occurs. (This will mean that the entry gets rebuilt twice
in such a scenario, but that's okay.) It appears that the problem can only
arise within a transaction that has previously reassigned the relfilenode of
a pre-existing table, via TRUNCATE or a similar operation. Per bug #5412
from Rusty Conover.
Back-patch to 8.2, same as the patch that introduced the problem.
I think that the failure can't actually occur in 8.2, since it lacks the
rd_newRelfilenodeSubid optimization, but let's make it work like the later
branches anyway.

doesn't take into account how far the WAL senders are. This way a hung
WAL sender doesn't prevent old WAL segments from being recycled/removed
in the primary, ultimately causing the disk to fill up. Instead add
standby_keep_segments setting to control how many old WAL segments are
kept in the primary. This also makes it more reliable to use streaming
replication without WAL archiving, assuming that you set
standby_keep_segments high enough.

Clean up some unnecessary differences between the way these were coded and

rename the GUC from MaxWalSenders to max_wal_senders for consistency and

I renamed xml_init to pg_xml_init, because the former seemed just a bit too
generic to be safe as a global symbol. I considered likewise renaming
xml_ereport to pg_xml_ereport, but felt that the reference to ereport probably
made it sufficiently PG-centric already.

how often we do SSL session key renegotiation. Can be set to
0 to disable renegotiation completely, which is required if
a broken SSL library is used (broken patches to CVE-2009-3555
a known cause) or when using a client library that can't do
renegotiation.
Add some checks that seem logically necessary, in particular let's make
real sure that HS slave sessions cannot create temp tables. (If they did
they would think that temp tables belonging to the master's session with
the same BackendId were theirs. We *must* not allow myTempNamespace to
become set in a slave session.)
Change setval() and nextval() so that they are only allowed on temp sequences
in a read-only transaction. This seems consistent with what we allow for
table modifications in read-only transactions. Since an HS slave can't have a
temp sequence, this also provides a nicer cure for the setval PANIC reported
by Erik Rijkers.
Make the error messages more uniform, and have them mention the specific
command being complained of. This seems worth the trifling amount of extra
code, since people are likely to see such messages a lot more than before.
ArrayRef expressions that are not in the immediate context of an INSERT or
UPDATE targetlist. Such cases never arise in stored rules, so ruleutils.c
hadn't tried to handle them. However, they do occur in the targetlists of
plans derived from such statements, and now that EXPLAIN VERBOSE tries to
print targetlists, we need some way to deal with the case.
I chose to represent an assignment ArrayRef as "array[subscripts] := source",
which is fairly reasonable and doesn't omit any information. However,
FieldStore is problematic because the planner will fold multiple assignments
to fields of the same composite column into one FieldStore, resulting in a
structure that is hard to understand at all, let alone display comprehensibly.
So in that case I punted and just made it print the source expression(s).
Backpatch to 8.4 --- the lack of functionality exists in older releases,
but doesn't seem to be important for lack of anything that would call it.
is aborted, if they were created within the failed xact. This prevents
ExecutorEnd from being run on them, which is a good idea because they may
contain references to tables or other objects that no longer exist.
In particular this is hazardous when auto_explain is active, but it's
really rather surprising that nobody has seen an issue with this before.
I'm back-patching this to 8.4, since that's the first version that contains
auto_explain or an ExecutorEnd hook, but I wonder whether we shouldn't
back-patch further.
In addition, add support for a "payload" string to be passed along with
each notify event.
This implementation should be significantly more efficient than the old one,
and is also more compatible with Hot Standby usage. There is not yet any
facility for HS slaves to receive notifications generated on the master,
although such a thing is possible in future.
Joachim Wieland, reviewed by Jeff Davis; also hacked on by me.
The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller
of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists,
GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number
of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will
make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a
future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code
shorter, too.

process. If startup waits on a buffer pin we send a request to all
backends to cancel themselves if they are holding the buffer pin
required and they are also waiting on a lock. If not, startup waits
until max_standby_delay before cancelling any backend waiting for
the requested buffer pin.
This patch allows the frame to start from CURRENT ROW (in either RANGE or
ROWS mode), and it also adds support for ROWS n PRECEDING and ROWS n FOLLOWING
start and end points. (RANGE value PRECEDING/FOLLOWING isn't there yet ---
the grammar works, but that's all.)

Using self-balanced tree greatly speeds up index creation in corner cases

Move rd_targblock, rd_fsm_nblocks, and rd_vm_nblocks from relcache to the smgr
relation entries, so that they will get reset to InvalidBlockNumber whenever
an smgr-level flush happens. Because we now send smgr invalidation messages
immediately (not at end of transaction) when a relation truncation occurs,
this ensures that other backends will reset their values before they next
access the relation. We no longer need the unreliable assumption that a
VACUUM that's doing a truncation will hold its AccessExclusive lock until
commit --- in fact, we can intentionally release that lock as soon as we've
completed the truncation. This patch therefore reverts (most of) Alvaro's
patch of 2009-11-10, as well as my marginal hacking on it yesterday. We can
also get rid of assorted no-longer-needed relcache flushes, which are far more
expensive than an smgr flush because they kill a lot more state.
In passing this patch fixes smgr_redo's failure to perform visibility-map
truncation, and cleans up some rather dubious assumptions in freespace.c and
visibilitymap.c about when rd_fsm_nblocks and rd_vm_nblocks can be out of
date.
